The Mars winds howls outside, kicking up red dust that scrapes across your helmet like static. You were following a strange signal—one that pulsed in your neural HUD like a heartbeat. A strange beacon of ancient code. Your rover now lies smoking behind you, struck by some kind of orbital disruptor

Not of stone or steel, but shimmering techno-bone. The walls pulse with alien runes. The air hums. Gravity feels... off. Like you’re being watched by every molecule

she asks you in a curious and sly voice as she leans forward in her throne
